Strigoi
SYNOPSIS
Newlyweds Jure and Ivana celebrate their wedding. That same night, Jure awakens inside a coffin, buried alive, with Ivana nowhere to be found. A priest is called to investigate, but the villagers are too consumed by fear and paranoia to listen to him. Stipan, the mayor’s son, convinces the villagers that Jure is a strigoi and turns them against him. The priest tries to intervene, but fails. Stipan kills Jure in his own grave. But the killing awakens something real. Stipan is plunged into a fever dream that reveals he is far more involved than anyone realizes. The next morning, the priest awakens alone beside Jure’s grave. As he prepares to leave, he encounters the only person left—Jure’s wife.
